Abstract
A method of processing light includes generating a beam of light and periodically diffracting the beam of light by an acoustooptic cell to produce diffracted light having at least one direction change from the generated light. The method further includes spatially integrating the diffracted light and providing the spatially integrated light to a spatial light modulator.
